The 33-year-old singer recently shared in an interview with In Style magazine (USA) that she and her husband decided not to have 𝓈ℯ𝓍 before marriage, and now both of them are grateful for their previous decision.

Currently, Ciara is happily married to football player Russell Wilson (30 years old). Before tying the knot in 2016, the couple had both experienced broken relationships. Ciara was previously with rapper Nayvadious Wilburn and had a son. Footballer Wilson also experienced a broken marriage.

However, when the two started dating, they decided to use a test for their feelings, which was not having “that thing”, to see how strong their feelings were. This story was confidently shared by Ciara in In Style magazine.

The singer admitted that it was not easy to do this, but it was all worth it with a happy marriage up to this point.

Both Ciara and Wilson know that their lives move at a fast pace and that determining whether a relationship is truly deep, committed, and capable of leading to marriage is not easy.

The experiment was carried out by them to focus on building a foundation for a serious and lasting relationship. The couple started dating in early 2015, and Wilson was the first to share the special details of their relationship with the press:

“I shared with her and she completely agreed. I asked: Can we love each other without ‘that’? If we can love someone even without ‘that’, then we are truly in love.”

The two married in 2016 and shortly after they had the good news. Currently, the two have one child together – a little girl Sienna.

Although they challenged each other quite a lot, Ciara also shared that she knew Wilson was her other half from the beginning: “We both felt it. We also have similar expectations for children, I want to have many children, because children make me young, dynamic, give me purpose in life, make life meaningful.”
